I wonder how much you’d actually enjoy wearing it. You are so deliberate and careful with your wardrobe additions that I can’t help but think you should hold out for a top that is more definitively a winner. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-button-up-kr#post-2232724 Mon, 18 Oct 2021 11:10:59 +0000 Tanya 2232724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your reasons all make sense, so it sounds like a logical decision.&nbsp; No need to keep something you don't love. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-button-up-kr#post-2232723 Mon, 18 Oct 2021 11:01:41 +0000 Anonymous 2232723@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all! I'm definitely leaning towards return now, though may try the XS just in case. </p> <p>Reasons:<br /> It's 2 shifts away from my usual- the buttons and the dropped shoulder. Future purchases should be just 1 shift away. </p> <p>It would probably take a long time to reach 30 wears, as it would be just transitional weather wear for me. We just don't have that much transitional weather.</p> <p>It's not worth the hours of work I suffered for it. Frankly- that needs to be my main benchmark for Any purchase. </p> <p>I liked how it looked on the model, but she had it tucked. I have a good 6+ inches of hips on her, and don't tuck, especially into pants. Even sized down I wouldn't get that vibe. </p> <p>I already have other tops in my closet that I'd reach for more. The beige sweater hasn't even been worn yet, but it will work for colder days. Also- no fussing with buttons and no dropped shoulders. Admittedly the pants grinning through isn't great so will need a cami under. </p> <p>The print top has buttons as a feature but they're sewn together, so again less fussy. The shape and length work much better on me than the beige blouse. </p> <p>I'm moving towards preferring classic length/fit tops as opposed to tunics, and wanting to shift my pants to wider styles. I'm also moving towards fitted jackets as opposed to the loose cardis that work best with the blouse. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-button-up-kr#post-2232690 Mon, 18 Oct 2021 06:21:14 +0000 Katerina 2232690@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That’s a great color on you! But I am on the fence about the oversized look. I am with the others about trying a smaller size for comparison. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-button-up-kr#post-2232684 Mon, 18 Oct 2021 05:50:55 +0000 Brooklyn 2232684@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the colour and the length. It looks great with the skinny bottoms. I agree you should try a size down. </p> <p>I’m also not wild about dropped shoulders but it wouldn’t necessarily be a deal breaker for me. It would depend on how many other boxes it ticked. So I’ll leave that question to you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-button-up-kr#post-2232673 Mon, 18 Oct 2021 05:18:00 +0000 lozz_oz 2232673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds like you’re not convinced this is the shirt for you.....a size down may or may not convince you either. Let’s see how it looks first.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-button-up-kr#post-2232632 Mon, 18 Oct 2021 01:09:15 +0000 Anonymous 2232632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Voting pass.</p> <p>&nbsp;If you want a longer top, maybe in a darker color, more substantial fabric with more structured tailoring?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-button-up-kr#post-2232631 Mon, 18 Oct 2021 01:05:04 +0000 Jaime 2232631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not sure, but I think I am zoning in on "passable or pass on". If it is just passable why keep? But try a size down for sure. It is not that I don't like the oversize look - it is just not your usual style and I wonder if you would enjoy wearing this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-button-up-kr#post-2232625 Mon, 18 Oct 2021 00:15:59 +0000 Jenn 2232625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I'm really on the fence with this one. I think it could work, but maybe a size down would work better? How's the fit across the bust?</p> <p>I just bought my own dropped shoulder silk top, and the shoulder was a &nbsp;pro for me rather than a con. It made the blouse hang in a more casual and relaxed way than some others I tried. The more traditional cuts looked kind of like I'd just slipped off my suit jacket after a high-powered meeting, which is fine, but not really my vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-button-up-kr#post-2232605 Sun, 17 Oct 2021 21:37:57 +0000 Tanya 2232605@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks good on you, especially in #4 and 6.&nbsp; I would compare it to a size down just to be certain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-button-up-kr#post-2232557 Sun, 17 Oct 2021 16:48:59 +0000 Suz 2232557@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try it one size down and compare...see if you still get the oversized effect.

This one is S, but it is still available in XS.<br /> ETA for reference, I've been wearing size 6 lately. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-button-up-kr#post-2232536 Sun, 17 Oct 2021 15:27:25 +0000 Carla 2232536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you try one size down? &nbsp;It’s a good colour.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-button-up-kr#post-2232532 Sun, 17 Oct 2021 15:18:13 +0000 Angie 2232532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd have liked to see one size down to compare......</p> <p>That said, this is an on trend fashionable look that you pull off! I like #4, 6 and 7 in terms of toppers. The lengths look best proportionally, to my eye. </p> <p>Scrunch the sleeves, and it looks good on its own too.&nbsp;</p> <p>Try a side knot <b>a-la-Janet</b> too. </p> <p>I vote keep :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-button-up-kr#post-2232528 Sun, 17 Oct 2021 15:12:15 +0000 Anonymous 2232528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's definitely the shoulders that give me pause. My shoulders are quite wide, so I generally like raglan sleeves to draw the eye in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-button-up-kr#post-2232522 Sun, 17 Oct 2021 15:03:32 +0000 Star (Lise) 2232522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am really liking the oversized shirt trend and plan to experiment with it too.&nbsp; However it is very easy to look like just a sloppy too big shirt.&nbsp; This one I prefer with the toppers which tells me it is the shoulders that I am not so keen on.&nbsp; I think for o/s to work the shoulders need to fit but I am definitely not an expert.&nbsp; Grayscale was trying o/s shirts fairly recently and the final one she got and showed near the end of that thread looked like an example I would like to copy.&nbsp; I think the high/low hem is better than straight if you have the shoulder fit right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/oversized-button-up-kr#post-2232518 Sun, 17 Oct 2021 14:56:48 +0000 Anonymous 2232518@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What toppers do you pair with it Catherine?

It looks really nice on you.

Not sure about toppers either, cause it's so long. It's longer in back.<br /> Considering buying a more classic shape shirt and dyeing if needed instead.</p> <p>So here's a few versions- with jeans, with trousers, + toppers, with ponte pants and boots, with ponte pants and cardi, and as a jacket. It was Not Good with any of my skirts. Also tried with a belt, but the hips puffed out under it.<br /> Pass it on or passable? </p>
